A Special Thank-You

To those of you who have already done so, and those planning to soon purchase and read my book, Settled Science, thank you. If you stumbled onto this site accidentally and are not aware of the book, please take a peek before clicking off. The book is a condensed and easy to understand layout of how most physicists and biologists think trillions of large and small natural events, some happening millions and/or billions of years apart, are still creating and changing our complex and immense universe filled with stars, planets, microbes, plants, animals, and—US! You will find the book to be both educational, and interesting, unlike many other science books so technical only research scientists can understand them. I promise you that reading it will not affect your moral values and will not affect your social standing—if you don't tell anyone you read it!

In the book’s Preface, I promise readers that I had no ulterior motive or hidden agenda for writing it and have attempted to objectively interpret and explain, as I understand them, only those “settled” expert opinions that have been formed or accepted by top scientists working in their particular fields of expertise. The “settled science” is, like all science, fluid and is modified or discarded when new contrarian evidence is discovered and, therefore, is only “settled” until it isn’t.

Any opinions of my own in the book are limited, and duly noted.

However, we all have biases so I respectfully suggest that, before you begin reading the book, you read my responses to some frequently asked questions about it in the Interview with The Author and review my essays in the Evolution Blog. Although science is always changing and many details of the theories of Evolution and the Big Bang still have to be further understood, both are now widely accepted by physicists and biologists as the only plausible explanations for how the universe formed, how life began, and how we got here.

Reviewing some of my opinions will, I think, help you grasp my (hopefully) unbiased interpretations and explanations of the science in the book, and help you decide whether you agree with any of them.

Once again, to my current and future readers, Thank You!
